the dark, burning remnants of Pony Ville. how could the emotions of just one being cause all of this destruction and pain? how could his love turn to hate? how could his Joy turn to rage? 3 words, thats all it took. 3 simple, yet devastating words. "LEAVE ME ALONE" I got the idea for this story while listening to the song "Baby" by Serj Tankian.

Hearth's warming eve once again rather than star in the pageant this year Twilight and the girls have been asked to help on the back end, applying their talents to make it the best pageant ever. During rehearsals an accident occurs which leaves Twilight blind. Rarity steps in to assist Twilight as much as she can and love comes to blossom between the two.

This story will focus on Princess Luna's life before she was banished to the moon, but it will also go into it and after.
What was Luna like before she was banished? Did she ever have friends, a student or maybe even a lover?

Also Luna doesn't speak in old English in this. I thought it would be better with just normal English.

Tags will be added as story moves on.

Celestia leaves to deal with a foreign crisis, giving her sister a chance to rule alone and become more attached to the modern world. She calls on Twilight Sparkle to advise Luna, hoping her student will be able to draw Luna out of her shell. With two major threats to Equestria already defeated in the past year, it seems like the perfect time to let Luna gain some confidence and experience in the modern world. After all, what are the chances of a third disaster occurring?

Now comes with complimentary tropes.

Love hurts.
After his latest attempt at gaining Rarity's affection failed, Spike decides to try making a love potion to win her affection. But what happens when Rarity falls for somepony else? In fact, what happens when everypony in Ponyville falls for somepony? How will Spike and others be able to survive when those close to them want to be 'closer'?

Twilight Sparkle thinks that Cheerilee would provide a very interesting partner... to talk to... about literature. Nothing else. Right?

Years ago, Twilight preformed a spell to teleport a notebook to herself that she needed but had left behind at her home. The spell worked, just not as she intended. The notebook was actually a diary, and it was not hers. It was the diary of a human boy, she read the diary making foot notes as she went along until, much to her surprise, it vanished. The next day she tried it again to find that her foot notes had been responded too. Over the years the two wrote back and forth like pen palls. Their friendship grew and grew until one day the letters stopped, until today, today she receives one last letter.

Fluttershy never thought Rainbow Dash would love her. Never thought Dash would hold her in that way. But she does. So then, why does it hurt so much inside? Why doesn't she feel the same way? Why can't she just love Rainbow back?

Ratings may change in further chapters.

Come, my friends, 'tis not too late to seek a newer world...

Princess Luna feels stifled in the nation crafted by her sister in her absence. After much debate, and over the strenuous objections of Princess Celestia, she decides to leave Equestria and find her own land, to rule as she sees fit. She asks her friends, the bearers of the Elements of Harmony, to join her in her quest as she travels into a wide world full of indescribable wonders, unspeakable horrors, and magics long-forgotten to ponykind.

Due to her reckless antics and tomboyish behavior, Rainbow Dash has generally been thought of as one that had no real interest in the matters of love and dating. However, she gets challenged by Spike one day when he tells his friends that he would never be able to fall in love with her. Given Rainbow's competitive nature, a new challenge between the two of them begins.

She tries to steal Spike's heart and if he falls in love, he loses!

Between awkward dates, friendly interference, a jealous Rarity, an over-protective Twilight and a betting pool stretching all across Equestria, who knows what ending awaits them!
